This article, dated 6th November 2013 was clearly posted here to have a particular discussion, and to push a particular political agenda. It was posted by somebody who posts only right, conservative, and white-supremacist talking points to HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=rbecker https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=rbecker).
- itsgrimetime 6y agoNot sure why you’re getting downvoted. Track record of a poster should be considered when evaluating the framing of a post.
- gpm 6y agoI'm legitimately confused, how is this article a right, conservative, and/or white-supremacist talking point?
- bigbubba 6y agoIf anything it seems to debunk a right-wing talking point. Very strange accusation.
- rbecker 6y agoThank you for pointing that out. Indeed, after an hour, this divisive, agenda-pushing article has rightly been flagged. As was my submission on the genocide of Greeks by the Ottoman empire [1,2] (but not enough to get the [flagged] marker). When it comes to articles about atrocities, HN only allows those that are posted in a spirit of reconciliation and healing, such as this recent article about the 1921 Tulsa massacre, where no-one questioned the motives behind posting it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24876120 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24876120 If you find any inaccuracies in this, or any other, right-wing talking-point submission, I encourage you to point them out. I tried to stick to reliable sources, but we all make mistakes.
